Maths & Stats or Actuarial Science!

mjamaly786 , let me give u a slice of my cake . Right , firstly , u wanna go into actuarial but i ve got be blunt with u , u chose wrong universities maybe except for Heriot watt . Anyway , i cant go on to advice u on what u shud have done coz its done already but from the list u ve got , go for actuarial maths at HW . Lancaster is good but then u ve got to hit top top grades to compete for entrance into the fields u ve suggested otherwise ... The record of the other choices mmmm.... let me say is not all that . U may ask why I m saying this . Okey , the best bets would have been Cass and LSE , as they are the best 2 unis for actuarial science in UK respectively and both are excellent for IB or stockbrocking esp LSE on the latter . So , i hope u ve got a picture of where i m coming from but having said that , there are many who went to these unis and made it but things are changing in the financial sector so it boils down to what u obtain in yo degree . Good luck !

Well , from the fact that u ve got ABB , yeah Cass & LSE may prove beyond u but even though , Lancaster is good in Maths . The only drawback is its history in the Actuarial Profession . QM , i ve no clue about their maths department and i cannot honestly make a comment on them . Its worthwhile to make further inquiries but u ve got good results and if u have an A in Maths , fingers crossed that Cass goes into clearing u may be okey . The thing is most students who want to go into finnce careers are opting for either IB or Actuarial , so applications for actuarial science places have rocketed recently . Hey , if it doesnt happen with cass , HW is there and Lancaster , try to go for the best u can , 1st or 2:1 , and try 2 gt an intern in yo pltimate year , it will enhence yo chances . U ll be fine .
